It gets even better, no seriously, it does. The pacing was perfect and exactly what I would hope for in a YA book. Information was evenly paced, not coming at you too slow or too fast. And yet, alot happens in just 400 pages. So much that I was frankly amazed at how much activity the story covered and how smoothly it all progressed. Life long friendships are formed, characters develop, the main conflict is resolved, the mystery is solved, or most of it anyway. It had a very satisfying ending but not so much that you do not want to immediately move on to book two and experience more of the adventures of Thea and her friends. If there are any faults in this book, I am unaware of them. Likely, they got lost in my delight in both the story and the characters. YA it might be but I feel like I have made some new friends and now, if you do not mind, I think I will go spend some more time with them. I will be back at the conclusion of book two!

Highly, highly recommended for both YA and adults who love an imaginative world peopled with very real human beings.
